I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a
little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up
against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am
not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to
die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply
because I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts.
I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice
but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame
traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the
responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So
my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American,
and let you decide what to do with those rights.

About a month ago I let the “democracy” word slip in a discussion
with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to
use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a
correct term to describe our form of government. The truth is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution.
In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes
against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a
violation of constitutional rights.

"The Koonce family
of North Carolina originated in the Palatinate, the region along the
upper Rhine River in Southern Germany, which supplied a large proportion
of the Swiss and German colonists who founded the town of New Bern, NC
in 1710 under the leadership of Baron Christopher De Graffenreid.

The founder of the family in North Carolina was Johann Christian Kunitzsli, (My sixth great grandfather) which was anglicized to John Koonce.
John, his wife, and six children, survived the hardships of the voyage
to America only to encounter worst misfortunes upon arrival in Virginia
in April 1710."

One other bit of local trivia. Perhaps New Bern’s most
prominent landmark is the old concrete grain silo at what was New Bern Oil and
Fertilizer. It sits on the bank of the Neuse River on the north side of town and can
be seen abovethe New Bern skyline from multiple locations and long
distances.

At one time it was neighbored by a big saw
mill, an ice plant and a coal yard on the south and the Maola Milk
plantto the north. All are out of business now. The
three to the south have been torn down and Maola is completely shut down but still there. At
the New Bern Oil Mill site only the 10 barrel grain elevator remains and sometime this week if
not tomorrow it will come down. They are busy cutting big holes in the bottom of
it to weaken the structure so they can implode it. I went by today to bid it
farewell. I used to work there. It’s a shame to see all of New Bern’s industrial might now gone including Barbour
Boat Works, New Bern Shipyard, Craven Foundry the Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola bottling
plants and other smaller outfits. America is truly dying before our eyes. Half a mile of
Neuse River waterfront that has been in industrial use since the early days of the Republic will now
become houses and condo’s for Yankee carpet baggers I suppose.

Via Michael via NCR "My family monthly insurance premium took another $400.00 jump this year to
over $2,000.00 per month. The good news is if I liked my plan, I can
keep my plan. Well sort of. My deductible increased by 30% and my
co-pays changed as well so I am paying a lot more for less. Blue Cross
having learned from Obama told me that if I liked my plan I had to do
nothing and it would be automatically renewed. Except under a new name
and new benefits. I met with my local insurance broker and there was no
better option available for us to take."

Forty-nine of 50 states will see premium hikes on the individual market in 2016, according to a tracker released by Freedom Partners, a Virginia-based non-profit.

Every state with the exception of Mississippi will see their health
insurance premiums rise in 2016, and most states will see double-digit
increases.

More than one in three states, or 17 percent, will see average
premium increases of 20 percent or more including Alabama, Alaska,
Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, and West
Virginia.

A German police officer told media that law enforcement cannot
efficiently tackle crime among refugees without being accused of
excessive violence or racism, while many dangerous incidents are played
down or kept secret to maintain desirable statistics.

The
federal police officer, referred to as Bernd K., has shared his
experiences with Bild newspaper, having worked for six months at Munich
train station and also in the “refugee hotspots” of Passau and Freilassing in Bavaria.

“At first, mostly families with children – who looked educated and spoke English – were coming here,” the officer told. “Meanwhile, 95 percent of refugees are now single men.”

Swedish police were
criticised on Monday after admitting they failed to release information
about alleged sexual assaults against women by young immigrants at a
Stockholm summer music festival over the past two years.

There
were 38 reports of rape and sexual assault filed after the We Are Sthlm
festival, which uses the postal abbreviation for Stockholm, in 2014 and
2015, according to police.

The allegations were first made public
in a report by the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, citing internal police
memos, and the events appear to mirror similar incidents on New Year's
Eve in the German city of Cologne.

The wave of nonwhite refugee-criminal
violence continues to spread across Germany, with two of the latest
attacks being a mass sex attack in Leipzig and a vicious unprovoked
assault in Chemnitz.

In the town of Chemnitz, local media reported,
five nonwhite invaders were arrested after an unprovoked brutal assault
on two 19-year-old Germans, one of whom suffered severe facial
injuries, including having his front teeth smashed out.

On Saturday, some 1,700 people turned out for a PEGIDA
rally in Cologne, where demonstrators protested Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s open-door migrant policy in the wake of the sexual assaults
that occurred on New Year’s Eve in the city center.

Ultimately, riot police were called in to disperse the crowds who held signs calling for the expulsion of “Rapefugees” and the ouster of Merkel.

Subsequently, reports indicated that gangs of “bikers,
hooligans, and bouncers” used Facebook to coordinate a migrant “manhunt”
that led directly to attacks on a group of Pakistanis in Cologne.

All of this points to the rapid disintegration of
German society in the face of a refugee influx that numbers some 3,000
new asylum seekers per day.

On Monday, the backlash against Mid-East refugees continued as thousands gathered in Leipzig to protest for and against the city’s local PEGIDA chapter.

LEGIDA members took to the streets on Monday to
commemorate the first anniversary of the founding of their chapter, as
well as to protest against the recent New Year's Eve sexual assaults in
Cologne.

"We are the people" "Resistance!" and "Deport them!" chanted the sign and flag-toting LEGIDA crowd. "Refugees
not welcome!" read one sign, showing a silhouette of three men armed
with knives pursuing a woman, while another declared "Islam = terror".

In another area of the city, riots broke out
when around hundreds of soccer "hooligans" started rioting in the
district of Connewitz. The neighborhood is considered to be the stronghold of the leftist scene in Leipzig.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
